“Noelle did such a great job taking care of our dogs for a few days while we were out of town! She was easy to communicate with, took our dogs on walks, sent update photos, and left the house nice and clean when we returned. She even offered to get more dog food in the event we ran out! We will definitely use her services again!”
“Brittany was wonderful! Very accommodating to our schedule. Lucie did great and didn't seem to mind having a sitter two days in a row! :) She sent us pictures which was very nice and just added to the confidence we had that she was in great hands and being well cared for! If back in CSTAT, would definitely book with Brittany again and would highly recommend her to watch anyone's fur baby!”
About: Currently, I am a first year veterinary student at Texas A&M. With that I work with dogs and cats daily, medically and behaviorally. I have experience with giving medications, dog walking, cleaning cages, and taking care of multiple dogs at once. While in school, I have also been volunteering at my local animal shelter, so I have many years of dog and cat experience. With the diverse experiences that I have, I am able to completely tailor my visits with your pets to their needs. I love taking care of animals and will ensure that they get all the attention you would usually give them. One of my goals within veterinary medicine is to offer low cost services to ensure that every pet has the opportunity to be taken care of. I love serving my community and I am a compassionate and loving care taker. Your pet(s) will be in great hands! I currently a full time student, so while I’m in school I will only be able to care for your pet before 8am and after 5pm. On the weekends, I can be very flexible since most of my days are spent studying. Specifically I would be able to check on pets every 4 hours or so if needed. I am even more available and flexible during breaks from school. During breaks, it’s all dependent on what kind of care your pet needs but I am adaptable and a quick learner. While caring for your pets in your home, I am willing to spend extra time playing with or just cuddling so they have extra human interaction. I also have toys I can bring if needed as well! I will also update you every time I am there so you know who is coming into your home, and I take every precaution to ensure that your pets and home are safe while you’re away. I can be adaptable to whatever situation you are in!
“Linda was so great with our dog, Tex. She stayed overnight with him while we were on vacation and took him on walks. She sent us several photos of their time together. I will hire her again!”
“Mackenzie was very good with all my girls. She handed me updates and pictures of them. She was very responsive when I would message her. She also kept my house nice and tidy, just as I left it. Would definitely recommend her to watch your babies.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs on and off my entire life and have experience providing overnight pet sitting as well as regular potty breaks, walks, feeding, and plenty of companionship. I know every pet has their own routine, and I do my best to keep them comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to care for your dog as if they were my own, giving them the same love, attention, and patience they would receive from you. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I’ll always treat them like family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, litter box cleaning, or simply some extra love and companionship, I’m happy to help. I enjoy spending time with both dogs and cats, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. At this time, I provide care only in my clients’ homes so your pets can stay comfortable in the environment they know best. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I’ll follow your instructions exactly, whether that includes feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, litter box care, or any other special requests. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Ashley was amazing, she watched my cat Phoebe at home for me and kept her happy and active. She also left a postcard and new toy before leaving which was super sweet. Would definitely book again.”
“Kayelee was great! Took care of the dogs and cats during a weekend of thunderstorms. She also diligently tracked the care of the animals and provided updates throughout the week. Would definitely book her again when we go out of town!”
“We came home to happy doodles and a very clean house. We had to extend our trip by 1 day unexpectedly, and Allie was very flexible giving us peace of mind with our pups. She even made sure one of the doodles received her meds (needed an extra dose since we were gone an extra night) unprompted by us. She washed all of the linens she used and made our bed, which was a dream to come home to after a 10 hour drive. We would absolutely hire Allie again, and highly recommend her for overnight care of fur babies.”
About: Growing up around dogs and pets my whole life has driven me to want to be a vet. From horseback riding to owning hamsters and fishes, I have always had a close bond with my animals. I love meeting new pets and seeing their unique and loving personalities. I have now been a pet sitter for over 5 years and I can’t wait to continue this passion of mine! I am currently a student at Texas A&M so my schedule is pretty flexible. Just reach out to me and we can make something workout! My number one priority is safety. I always make sure doors are locked, fences are in good condition or leashes/collars are on well. I also make sure to check water bowls multiple times a day. As a pre-ver major, I also often take notice of how the pet is to make sure they are healthy and happy. Lastly, I will make sure your pet gets lots of cuddles and kisses!!
About: I love animals and would love to care for yours while you go have fun and relax and take care of you! Call me anytime! If you happen to be 10-15 minutes from Academy, I would be able to do a potty break during the days, if not, any other time will work! I can stay overnight if needed! Let me know what works best for you! I love on animals and let them know I they are loved. I love sitting outside so can give them walks or just time laying in the sun!
“Carolina was wonderful and really gave us peace of mind during our trip. She was excellent at communicating and giving updates to us and also left our home clean. She will definitely be rebooked by us in the future!”
About: I’m currently a student at Texas A&M, and even with my classes, I keep a very open and flexible schedule for pet care. I’ve grown up with animals my entire life, and I’ve been pet sitting for other families since I was a freshman in high school. Whether it’s walking, feeding, playtime, or just keeping your pet comfortable, I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely love caring for all kinds of animals. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule because I only have one class each day and work part-time at the Lincoln Recreation Center. I’m also a member of Zeta Tau Alpha, but outside of those commitments my schedule is wide open. That flexibility makes it easy for me to be available for walks, drop-ins, or longer pet-sitting stays whenever needed. I always prioritize each pet’s safety and comfort, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours. I follow all routines you provide, keep a clean and pet-friendly environment, and ensure they’re never left unsupervised in unsafe situations. I take time to earn their trust so they feel relaxed, secure, and happy throughout their stay.
“Isabella was an absolute pleasure and I can't recommend her enough. She was so sweet and caring to my baby and I'm forever thankful I found such a good sitter. Will definitely hire again. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart ❤️”

I understand how important it is to keep your furry family members happy, safe, and loved. I provide clear photo updates during every visit so you can have complete peace of mind while away. I have flexible availability that easily accommodates pet care into my daily routine! I am open for morning, midday, and evening drop-ins or walks, as well as weekend house sitting and overnight stays. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. In your home, I follow all specific care routines, keep doors and gates secure, and ensure your pets feel loved and relaxed while sending regular photo updates.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Wilcox on Rover is $34.41 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 314 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wilcox. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Wilcox walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Wilcox maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Wilcox choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
